A brilliant collection of loosely joined thoughts and anecdotes on death, delivered in beautiful words. Humorous, light-handed, but not lighthearted, just a great read about death and dying, and how a lot of other writers and artists perceived it. A book you can pick up again and again, each time a little closer to death, and you may marvel at the fact, that you are going to die, as so many did before you, and how many thoughts can be thought regarding this simple fact.
